Last weekend one of my friends continuously rolled and subsequently sank my jet ski a 2002 Sea Doo XP. It did not completely submerge but the entire engine compartment was full of water. Heres what I did...
Took the jet ski out and drained all the water. I then pulled the plugs and turned the engine over blowing out as much water as I possibly could. I continued to do this for a while and dried and cleaned the plugs and after a short time was able to start the engine. Yesss!!!.... but wait
Tried to launch the sea doo and it would start but would just not run smooth at all, figured still some water in the engine, probably needs new plugs....
Buy new plugs and put them in....Also I checked the gas and gas bowl and there is no water in the gas that I can tell....The bowl has no water at the bottom...Launch the jet ski again and same thing, it just wont run correctly. This time however after running the machine for about 30 minutes I can get it to go to 4500 rpm and 30 mph, but absolutely nothing more. The engine seems as if it is bogged down. Also if this means anything to anyone..I can make a sharp turn right and it will run at 30mph, but if I make a sharp turn left it boggs down to low rpms....
Also the engine is not heating up...it is warm to the touch after 30 minutes of use... After that I pulled the new plugs and found that the plug closest to the front of the machine is carboned up but appears to be ok. The plug closer to the rear however looks completely new (the same as when I put it in) as if it were not getting gas....I did also check and both plugs are firing correctly. I also tried to blow more water out of the cylinders but there is no more water to get out.
Is it possible that it is currently only running on one cylinder?...So knowing what you all know now...what is my fix? Please help is greatly appreciated.....
